Edwin J. Feulner's leadership as President of The Heritage Foundation has transformed the think tank from a small policy shop into America's powerhouse of conservative ideas.<br /> Feulner first joined The Heritage Foundation as a founding Trustee in 1973. He later became President in 1977, Heritage's fourth in four years. After accepting the job, Feulner was determined to chart a new course for the struggling think tank.<br /> <br /> <br /> Feulner's schedule is often full because of the many hats he has worn over the years: He is the former President and currently serves as the Treasurer of the Mont Pelerin Society; he has served as Trustee and former Chairman of the Board of The Intercollegiate Studies Institute; Member of the Board of the National Chamber Foundation; a Board Member of the Institut d' Etude Politique; and member of the Board of Trustees of Regis University in Denver.<br /> <br /> He is a longtime officer and director of three grant-making foundations: the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the Aequus Institute and the Thomas A. Roe Foundation.<br /> <br /> Feulner is the former President of the Philadelphia Society, and past Director of the Sequoia Bank, the Council for National Policy, the Acton Institute, the International Republican Institute, the American Council in Germany, the Lehrman Institute and George Mason University.
